This should be titled "What is Kenilworth Ivy". Virtually NO information about growing them.
Kenilworth ivy does not like the sun. They do very well in shade, and they transport themselves from ground to pot to planter in my shaded deck garden. This plant is not native to the Americas, but it’s aversion to sun keeps it limited to moist shady areas. Beautiful plant, with small, waxy, scalloped leaves that are olivegreen on top and purple underneath, which form a lovely mat and along threadlike stems. Miniature lilac, yellowthroated snap‐dragon blooms graced the foliage almost year round here in central California coastal regions.
I learnt nothing.
